Workplace

“Dr Yancey, Thank you!!!! Your presentation was so uplifting and encouraging. I especially like how you got the entire room to participate in exercising. That day was my ‘Begin Again’ day. I started walking again and I am just taking one day at a time.”

“You don’t know how out of character this is for me to lead a group of people in a business meeting in exercise. I am very reserved. BUT I DID IT!!”

“The staff love it, in fact if the leads forget to start right at the designated start times, the staff will request their instant recess! They have already shown an improvement in their attendance and have not had a workplace injury since implementing instant recess. Plus they are inspiring other departments across the medical center to try it–if it works in the call center, it can work in any environment!”  - Wellness Project Manager

“Just do it, it’s a lot of fun! It’s great for stress relief! You get away from the computer, which helps your body, especially if you have injuries.  It’s OK if you can’t do all the moves – just do what you can.” - Lab Technician, Kaiser Permanente
